Sebastian raised his hand and slapped himself.
Half an hour later, Sabrina called again.
“I found her. She was at the beach. Someone rescued her.”
Sebastian’s hand on the steering wheel trembled at the news, causing him to almost crash into the railing.
He had never thought that Sasha would act like this one day.
Sebastian felt as though he was losing his mind. He stepped on the gas pedal, hoping to arrive at her city as soon as possible. The moment he reached, he drove straight to the local hospital.
“Fortunately, the patient was rescued quickly. And because she wasn’t in the water for too long, she’s doing fine now. But I noticed something about her body.”
“What is it?”
“We’ve conducted a checkup, and it revealed that the nerves in both her legs had no reaction. Also, many of her major blood vessels from her brain to the lumbar spine suffered severe blockage and curvature. Especially the one leading to her brain. I assumed that she must be blind, am I right?”
The doctor’s statement was encountered with silence. Sabrina lowered her head. For the first time in her life, she felt uneasy.
Sebastian had arrived just in time to hear the doctor’s words, and he fainted on the spot.
“Mr. Hayes!” Karl shouted in shock.
After resting in a ward for a long while, Sebastian slowly regained consciousness. He looked at the doctor in front of him.
“You’re awake. Seems like you’ve been pushing your body to exhaustion, and you haven’t consumed any food or drink for quite some time. You should take care of yourself,” the doctor explained.
Sebastian wasn’t listening.
He licked his dry lip and turned to gaze at Sasha who was lying beside him. “What is her condition from what you mentioned earlier?”
“You mean her?”
“Yes.”
“To put it simply, she has a vascular lesion. The drugs administered to her that paralyzed her legs shouldn’t have caused this. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out the actual cause.”
The doctor had a look of utter helplessness.
Sebastian stated as he recalled, “She’s also a doctor.”
“What? She’s a doctor?”
“Yes, a Chinese Medical Practitioner.”
The doctor seemed to have come to a realization upon hearing that.
“I see. That would explain a lot. Come over here. I need your help to flip her to her front. I want to show you something.” He walked over to Sasha.
Sebastian instantly pushed himself up and crossed the room to the doctor.
They then flipped Sasha to lay on her front, displaying her entire back.
There were many tiny pinpricks around her lumbar spine.
“She’s a very ruthless person.”
The doctor pointed at the pinpricks. “These were her doings. Although TCM is not my forte, I do know that some practitioners would use a needle to trigger their acupoints. I guessed she wanted to stimulate both her legs to overcome the numbness. She must have endured a lot of pain when she stabbed herself so many times.”
Sebastian didn’t reply.
His heart was aching as though numerous hands were tearing at it. It hurt so much that he was having difficulty breathing.
I never thought that b*stard would treat her that way.
Didn’t he love her? After all, he had been plotting to steal her away from the moment he saw me. But this was how he treated her after stealing her?
Using drugs to cripple her…
She must have been in despair. Was she waiting for me to save her all those while?
When she was stabbing herself with that needle for numerous days and nights, was she hoping for me to appear and save her from that monster’s den?
On the verge of a mental breakdown, Sebastian wrapped his arms around Sasha tightly. His eyes were wet with unshed tears.
The doctor couldn’t bear to look at the heart wrenching scene in front of him, so he changed the topic. “It’s not all hopeless yet. We could try surgery on this type of man-made vascular lesion.”
“Really?”
Sebastian raised his head to glance at the doctor.
The doctor nodded. “The main symptom of the lesion is vascular curvature, resulting in the blockage of the blood vessels. I heard there’s a famous surgeon in Lightspring who saved a ten-days-old baby with a vascular condition. You can try bringing her there.”
The doctor was kind enough to refer Sebastian to another doctor.
At that moment, Sebastian felt he
